The More Things Change Editor: This is a request to keep a sharp eye on the hiring, by our Board of Supervisors, of the new Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) Director. The current director receives close to $250,000 in yearly salary/benefits and controls $150 million of our county’s $300 million total budget. With this amount of our community’s money in the new director’s hands, the board’s hire needs to have proven results in helping the helpless but also have creative ideas, be accountable, hold people accountable and have sound fiscal responsibility. Maybe the board will select from the private (real world) instead of the public (government) world. Our transient population is not “transient” and it is not helpless. It’s settled here and is wrecking our community. Crime is sky high. Businesses suffer. Tourists roll up their windows and drive right through our communities. Chief Mills, who along with his department is doing a great job, stated 72 percent of his department’s violent crime arrests were of members of the transient population. To bring business, doctors, companies, entrepreneurs (job creators) to our county this homeless/drunk/drug/crazy population needs to be brought under control. Jobs create prosperity and prosperity creates jobs. Hopefully, the new DHHS director will understand throwing money at these issues is not working. It is perpetuating. As Jud Elinwood states in the Oct. 22 NCJ “… We Can Do Better.” Bring private sector stakeholders along with key DHHS personnel to find more efficient means to help our helpless. The NCJ’s anniversary issue listed problems facing people 25 years ago (Sept.

17). Among these were homelessness and drug/alcohol abuse. Over 25 years of untold millions spent and nothing has changed. I propose that there should not even be a sniff of any new tax put in front of the citizens until vast improvements are seen on these issues. —Rick Brennan, Eureka

Once Bitton …

Editor: I was disturbed by the Nov. 5 review of Going to St. Ives (“The Meaning of Motherhood and the Price of Favors”). In the first place, there was no reason to divulge the main point of the plot, but on reflection I can see why Pat Bitton did that: The reviewer must have a grudge to settle with Redwood Curtain. Overall, the review was mean-spirited. The play and the acting were both superb. This was a play local theatergoers will talk about for years and that was just barely acknowledged, in an almost underhanded way. As much print was spent on dissing the set and sound. This review seemed to be about Pat Bitton and not the play. —David Callow, McKinleyville

Simpler Seed Saving?

Editor: Thanks to Heather Jo Flores for educating us about seed saving (“Seed Saving Made Simple,” Oct. 22). I have a tip to make it even simpler. I have been saving seeds for 40 years and have developed the easiest way possible to do the “wet processing” mentioned in the article. There is no soaking, no mold, and no stink! Eliminate all that and use my tried and true method to keep and dry wet seeds (tomatoes, peppers, etc.). You will need a common wire mesh kitchen strainer and a strip of masking tape. Write the veggie

name on the masking tape and tape it to the handle of the strainer. Now, squish the juicy seeds into the strainer. Hold the strainer under cold water and rub the seed mass around and around against the wire mesh until all the gooey mass is rinsed out and all that remains are the cleaned up seeds. Smear the seeds out on the surface of the strainer mesh, ending up with Terry Torgerson. a single layer of seeds. That’s it! Now hang the strainer in a space where it can dry completely, for a week perhaps. Rub the dry and crispy seeds off the screen and into a paper envelope. Take the masking tape and affix it to the envelope. Write the date, and all pertinent info on the envelope. Take the envelope and place it in a tightly sealed quart jar. Store in cool, dark place. You may freeze the seeds, in the jar, for a week to kill all bugs. Seeds will keep for a few years using this method. And it sure is easy! (No mold! No stink! No Dehydrator!) —Randy Krahn, Bridgeville

partnership between a land trust, a timber company and a community services district is seeking to conserve thousands of acres of timberlands and establish a new community forest adjacent to McKinleyville. The area between McKinleyville and Fieldbrook has long been considered an important greenbelt that should be shielded from development. All of a sudden, there’s a lot of momentum to accomplish that, as the Trust for Public Land (TPL) is working with the Green Diamond Resource Company on a conservation easement agreement for a 3,644-acre tract immediately to the east of McKinleyville, extending toward Fieldbrook. According to a Green Diamond press release, if an easement purchase deal is

forged, then more than 90 percent of the property will be permanently preserved as working timberlands. A separate agreement would lead to the creation of a community forest lining the tract’s western boundary along McKinleyvile’s eastern edge. At a Nov. 3 presentation to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, Craig Compton, Green Diamond’s land and business manager, said that, depending on the amount of funding that can be gained for land acquisition, the community forest area would be between 426 and 626 acres. The tract also includes 274 acres slated for low density residential development adjacent to the developed areas of McKinleyville’s Murray Road and the Continued on page 8 »

western border of the proposed community forest. Green Diamond spokesman Gary Rynearson said the areas mapped for residential use have a combination of agricultural and timber production zoning, and the company’s press release said those areas will be suitable for “limited future residential development,” but the specifics of those proposed developments — what they would look like and who would develop them — remain unclear at this stage. Compton said the community forest project will take three to five years to complete. His request that the county support grant applications to help fund the acquisition was unanimously approved by supervisors. The project spurs from a previous working relationship between Green Diamond and TPL on the 1,000-acre McKay Community Forest in the Eureka area. The county owns and maintains the forest, having purchased it last year with $6.8 million in grant funds from various state agencies. But the county doesn’t have the staff to take on another community forest project and won’t be taking the lead on this one. That role is being pursued by McKinleyville’s de facto governing agency, the McKinleyville Community Services District (MCSD). It’s not a surprising development, as the community forest area is mapped accordingly in the McKinleyville Community Plan and MCSD’s master recreation plan. And the hunt for funding is on. The night following the supervisors meeting, the district’s board of directors voted unanimously to authorize staff to seek grants for purchasing the community forest. “The board is very supportive of our agency taking the lead on this,” said MCSD General Manager Greg Orsini in an interview. But he added that the project is being approached cautiously and “a lot of economic questions need to be answered.” One of those is assessing how much the forestland is worth. Another analysis will estimate what it will take to develop or improve trails and maintain them. If the forest is actively harvested, revenue

generation will be factored in. Orsini said that “dual use,” similar to the McKay and Arcata community forests, which mix recreational access with timber harvesting, is envisioned. “I think the community is supportive of that, as long it’s done responsibly,” he said of the logging aspect. John Corbett, who chairs the MCSD board, has experience with negotiating conservation deals in the McKinleyville area. He was a key participant in the establishment of an educational wetland adjacent to the Dow’s Prairie Elementary School. Corbett said if funding agencies decide the community forest is a worthy acquisition, an appraisal methodology will be worked out and the business of assessing value will follow. The MCSD board will be thorough and careful, he continued. “We have a board that takes financial responsibilities very seriously,” he said. Though the project’s at an early stage –— when interviewed, Orsini said the effort was barely into its second week of work — there are indications it has strong chances of being funded. TPL North Coast Program Manager John Bernstein said the agencies that funded the McKay tract purchase will also consider funding the McKinleyville conservation easement and community forest purchases. The McKay purchase was funded by the state’s Natural Resources Agency, Coastal Conservancy and Wildlife Conservation Board. Bernstein said the

McKinleyville tract is a good candidate for gaining similar support. “What leads public funding is largely ecosystem values,” he said, adding that Lindsay Creek, which some consider to be the most important coho salmon tributary of the Mad River, runs through the tract. Bernstein said a potential source for community forest funding is the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, which uses oil company fees to pay for public recreation projects. “It seems to be spot-on for this type of project,” he said. Bernstein also highlighted Green Diamond’s willingness to negotiate conservation deals, “rather than taking the alternate pathway of subdividing for development.” In the past, he said, timber companies generally didn’t consider conservation agreements. “Green Diamond has shown itself to be very progressive in thinking of doing these things at all,” Bernstein continued. “We’ve really come a long way and I respect them for that.” At the supervisors meeting, it was noted that if the McKinleyville community forest is fully funded at 626 acres, it will be four acres larger than the Arcata Community Forest. “Humboldt County has been a real pioneer in creating these community forests,” said Bernstein. ● Daniel Mintz is a freelance journalist based in Eureka who has been reporting news in Humboldt County since 2001.

A Place to Go

Southern Humboldt considers public restrooms as transient tensions mount The interior of one of Old Town Eureka’s much-abused public toilets.

By Linda Stansberry

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

Grant Scott-Goforth.

e didn’t want this to be a polarizing thing in the community,” says Robert Froelich. Yet the idea of a public restroom in Garberville has become — and has long been — exactly that. Froelich is a member of the Garberville-Redway Public Restroom Working Group (GRPRWG), which has met every month for the past three years to discuss installing the unincorporated area’s only public restroom. Now the group seems within sight of its goal. The Garberville Town Square organization recently approved the construction of a public restroom in the middle of town, and GRPRWG held a fundraiser to bankroll the project. The group’s goal is to have the facility ready within a year. But the project is not without its detractors. Despite the fact that public urination and defecation is a top complaint of those who speak publicly on the area’s homeless population, GRPRWG has struggled to find support. The group held professionally facilitated community roundtables throughout the process and presented at the Rotary, chamber of commerce, local hospital and school. Some were in support of the endeavor, but public concern kept circling back to the same issue: Would installing restrooms enable the area’s homeless? Consider the back-and-forth comments on a recent Facebook post by Southern Humboldt blogger Kym Kemp about the idea.

Will these “public restrooms” have showers for the transients too? Asks one man. “Showers would be a great idea. Free laundry too,” Chimes in a restroom advocate. “Just title them what they are, ‘Transient Restrooms,’ the local public isn’t going to use them.” “Is there a drop box for heroin needles in them too?” “A needle drop box is an awesome idea. Keep those sharps off the ground, and out of the park!” “The … shitters will not even use them after two weeks. Stop pretending we are talking about normal humans. ... They are mental patients and/or brain dead Tweakers.” The thread goes on to include photos of toilet paper and human feces left in the local park, accusations of xenophobia, an argument about what truly makes a “local” and reviews of public restrooms in Eureka, Ferndale and Field’s Landing. “People have a lot of opinions,” says Froelich. “There is this idea that bathrooms attract homeless people. We couldn’t find any kind of evidence. This is just an idea people have about travelers, homeless. Over several years here, the conversation has moved beyond that.” The idea of a public restroom in Southern Humboldt has been fraught with challenges for several years. Because it is unincorporated, funding for such an endeavor would require private donations. A homeless advocate in the area,

Debra Carey, used her personal money to rent a Porta-Potty for Garberville’s Veteran’s Park in 2011, only to have the facility removed by the Humboldt County Public Works Department because she had failed to get a permit for it. Four years later, the idea of a public potty is again throwing local opinion on the homeless issue into sharp relief. The 2015 Point In Time Count estimates there are 170 homeless people in the Southern Humboldt area, but many believe that’s an underestimate, especially in the late summer and fall months when people arrive to work in the region’s marijuana industry. Many complain of panhandlers, trash, theft, crime and drug abuse. Recently, locals began patrolling the sidewalks at dusk, picking up trash and talking with transients, encouraging them to move on. The patrol troubles Carey and others, who equate it with harassment. Beth Bennett-Allen, a Garberville restaurant owner, says she supports the new patrols and other efforts to reduce the area’s visible homeless population. “We’ve just experienced an influx of people who are trashing the river and our town,” says Bennett-Allen, who carries a Taser, which she says she has brandished several times at people loitering in front of her business. She was among many back-to-the-landers who moved to the region in the 1970s and were received with hostility by the “rednecks” in the then-conservative town. Many of her cohort lived in tents.

The local laundromat had a sign that said, “don’t bathe babies in the sink.” Now a land and business owner, Bennett-Allen says she appreciates the irony, but says the “sense of entitlement” present in the current wave of travelers differentiates them from her own generation. “I understand the position of coming here and feeling like an outsider. … We didn’t come here with the you-owe-usanything attitude,” she says. Elsewhere in Humboldt County, attitudes surrounding public restrooms and their ability to empower the “entitled” are mixed. The city of Arcata installed a so-called “Portland Loo” last December. Named after their city of origin, the bathrooms are easily cleaned, stainless steel structures made by Madden Fabrication. Arcata Environmental Services Director Mark Andre says the loo has turned out to be a “nice facility,” especially in terms of durability. Downtown businesses have experienced fewer issues with “non-patrons,” and the restroom in general has been “a positive addition.” As for the claim that the restroom has attracted more people to the nearby Veteran’s Memorial Park, Andre calls this a “false correlation.” “It was already a hangout spot, I don’t think it caused it,” he says. Andre estimates the 2015 maintenance costs for the facility to top out between $15,000 and $25,000, a figure that includes twice-daily visits from city staff. GRPRWG hasn’t yet established a budget

for these costs, but Froelich estimates they will run around $10,000 annually. Arcata’s Portland Loo cost the city around $115,000; GRPRWG plans to build its own version at a reduced cost. Self-cleaning bathrooms have been installed in other cities with large homeless populations, such as San Francisco and Seattle. Seattle’s $5 million project ended in dismal failure, as the bathrooms became trashed and unusable, and the city ended up selling the facilities on eBay at a loss after four years. The self-cleaning mechanisms in San Francisco’s bathrooms also malfunction due to trash clogs. But the idea of public restrooms as a civic responsibility continues to hold emotional weight with a surprising spectrum of people — including those responsible for maintaining them. Ferndale City Manager Jay Parrish says that, although that town’s 33-year-old restrooms do “have problems from time to time” and require a “substantial cost,” the burden they take off the business district has “seemed to be worth it to the city council.” Fortuna recently invested in waterless urinals for two of its restrooms, which will save an estimated 80,000 gallons of water annually. Mike Johnson, the city’s general services superintendent, says the restrooms do incur the occasional issue with vandalism but they are worth continued investment. Johnson first encountered the waterless urinals while visiting the Napa Valley. “If they’re good enough to be in a

Michelin Star-rated restaurants, they’re good enough to be in Newburg Park,” he says. By far the most benighted public facilities must be those along the Eureka waterfront. Parks and Recreation Director Miles Slattery says his employees regularly deal with inappropriate uses of public facilities, including drug use and trash. “You wouldn’t believe what we encounter in our restrooms,” he says. “It’s not for the faint of heart. Things that are supposed to end up in the toilet don’t.” The city recently replaced the locks on its restrooms near the Old Town Gazebo with less expensive models because they were repeatedly pried open after hours. (City employees clean and lock the bathrooms at dusk.) “I can’t tell you how many times we open and find someone passed out in there,” Slattery says. Despite these challenges, Slattery does not believe eliminating public facilities is a solution. Instead, he says the city is working to attract “appropriate use” to the areas, holding events that bring more public presence to public parks, with the idea that this will discourage bad behavior. A similar philosophy informed a recent event in Garberville that encouraged people to come and “occupy” the Town Square for family oriented fun. “I think giving up is the wrong thing to do,” says Slattery. “If I took away every bench or trash can I got a complaint about, we wouldn’t have any left.” l

he Humboldt County Planning Commission embarked on its journey to review the latest proposed medical marijuana ordinance recently with a marathon meeting that saw dozens of public comments. The county is hustling to push through the ordinance, which dictates which land use zones will be allowed to host marijuana grows. Looming overhead is a March 1, 2016 deadline put into place by the package of statewide medical marijuana bills passed by Gov. Jerry Brown in October. While many of the details of how the state will regulate the marijuana industry weren’t developed as of the Oct. 5 meeting, the bills allow counties to develop permitting procedures as long as they are at least as stringent as the (mostly yetto-be-determined) state standards. The catch, the county says, is that local regulations must be in place by March 1 or “the state will be the sole licensing authority.” (Assemblyman Jim Wood opposed that deadline, and his staff says removing it is a “top priority” when the Legislature reconvenes in January. “We can get a jump on the process,” Deputy County Counsel Joel Ellinwood told the commissioners. “We can give cultivators in Humboldt County a head start on the state process and provide the benefits of this regulatory scheme earlier than would otherwise be the case.” The prospect of ceding local control is alarming to the county, which wants to dictate where and how large marijuana grows can be in an attempt to curb the fragmentation of large rural properties and the associated environmental harm that’s blown up with the last 15 years’ green rush. The state’s rules allow for grows up to an acre in size, which most people (those who are speaking up, anyway) agree is too large for Humboldt County, where most grows take place in remote properties unsuitable for typical agricultural production.

So the county’s scrambling. As the Journal went to press, the planning commission was beginning its second meeting reviewing the draft county ordinance, and another is planned for Nov. 12. The board of supervisors has directed the commission to make recommendations for an ordinance by early December so the supervisors have enough time to review, discuss and properly notice the ordinance for adoption. The planning commission has to move quickly, though it’s recently been fairly hands-on and slow-moving with simpler projects. And this one is daunting, everyone agrees, with the potential to dramatically impact Humboldt County’s environment and economy. (As the meeting went into a five-minute break, the video recording caught one commissioner saying “Jesus, that was a lot of reading, I’ll tell you,” before the microphone turned off.) The ordinance has to pass environmental review. The supervisors have to rapidly whittle the language to their liking. Everything has to go perfectly, basically, in order for the county to get its ordinance on the books in time. After the planning commission’s Nov. 5 meeting, it doesn’t look particularly promising. Commissioners are working off of a draft ordinance prepared by county counsel and the planning and building department. The draft had a rough start, irking supervisors Ryan Sundberg and Estelle Fennell upon its release, as it departed from the California Cannabis Voice Humboldt draft that was bandied about for a year and submitted to the county in September. Both supervisors said they were worried the current draft’s requirements were so strict that growers wouldn’t come into compliance, choosing instead to remain in the black market. That concern was echoed by a number of public commenters at the planning commission meeting. As drafted, the ordinance requires growers operating

with a cultivation area of 2,000 square feet to obtain a conditional use permit, a discretionary permit that would require a public hearing and review by the planning commission. These are expensive and time consuming, and, some argued, would deter compliance. The draft allows grows of between 500 and 2,000 square feet with a “special permit,” which requires review by county staff but not a public hearing. Grows of less than 500 square feet would be given zoning clearance certificates — ministerial permits that don’t require a review process as long as the application fits the county’s requirements. The draft’s tier system and its prohibition on new grows in timber production zones have proven to be its most controversial aspects. Cannabis advocates have asked the county to increase the minimum size requiring conditional use permits. Environmental groups have supported the current draft. At the Nov. 5 meeting, the public was generally supportive of the ordinance, though many evinced concerns about the proposed regulations without suggesting what, specifically, should be amended. Several rural residents complained about the noise, light and other nuisances from large outdoor grows. Debbie Provolt, the chair of the Humboldt Coalition for Property Rights advisory board, said existing grows shouldn’t be given priority treatment for permits. “Don’t reward those who’ve broken the law and punish those who haven’t by making them jump through hoops,” she said. Representatives from CCVH and the Mattole Sustainable Farmers Guild suggested that zoning clearance certificates should be given to grows of up to 10,000 square feet in size. Natalynne Delapp of the Environmental Protection Information Center and Jen Kalt of Humboldt Baykeeper said there should be more in the ordinance to discourage water trucking and indoor cultivation. They both called for a cap on the total number of permits issued for outdoor grows. Provolt, somewhat surprisingly, given the history of their respective organizations, agreed. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the speakers (and submitted public comments) came from people involved in or advocating for the medical marijuana industry or the environment. At the outset of the meeting, Commissioner Lee Ulansey (who founded HumCPR), sniped at Senior Planner Steve Lazar, who wrote the draft ordinance. “Describe what’s been going on the last couple of years moving toward this step,” Ulansey ordered him, saying he’s received lots of concern from the community that

there hasn’t been enough public involvement in the issue. Lazar explained that the outdoor cultivation ordinance is the fourth phase of the county’s attempt to regulate the industry, and that several community meetings were held in 2013. “There was always in the distance the Holy Grail — commercial cultivation,” Lazar said. But the stakeholders and county couldn’t reach a consensus, and the process stalled. Now, Lazar said, the state regulations have leant the issue urgency and clear guidance, and brought the medical marijuana industry to the table. Ulansey admonished Lazar for planning a meeting with CCVH and environmental groups after the county draft was released. Lazar said the meeting was intended to be educational, and that he selected the groups because of their involvement over the last several years, but that the meeting never took place. Ulansey said more people — ranchers, timber owners, conservancy groups — should have been involved in the process. But if those groups have concerns about the draft land use ordinance, they aren’t very vocal about them. Aside from one Redway farm owner, people outside of the marijuana/enviro world didn’t weigh in on the ordinance on Nov. 5. The commission discussed the ordinance briefly following public comment. Ulansey said he’d like to include something in it that would allow the county to identify neighborhoods where cultivation is appropriate. Commissioner Kevin McKenny said he was concerned that the mitigated negative declaration the county prepared wasn’t sufficient to pass state environmental laws, saying it didn’t address things like septic systems associated with grows. Lazar said the intention of the ordinance was simply to identify zones where cultivation could take place, and by permitting grows, the county hoped to see a “cascading effect of compliance” with other codes that already regulate septic systems and other development. Commissioner Ben Shepherd said he was concerned about a cap on the total number of permits, saying it could lead to another “green rush.” But Commissioner Noah Levy said he liked the idea of a cap — both as way to ensure the county’s environmental assessment of an ordinance was adequate and to encourage people to come quickly into compliance. The commission continued its hearing, and has less than three weeks to forward recommendations and meet the board of supervisors’ timeline. The Journal will continue to follow the process. ●

Choosing The Right Medical Cannabis

Can be confusing at first with so many different and unusual names and choices. That being said, it is much easier to find a medical cannabis product that will work for you once you have figured out what your desired effect is. We are learning so much more about this wonderful plant all the time. We now know that aspects of cannabis such as the flavor, contributes to the effect. Remember, “The nose knows” – So trust your instincts and keep a personal cannabis journal to note how certain strains affect you. One very important factor in choosing the right medicine for yourself is that each strain has a limit to the amount and type of cannabiniods that can be received by your body at a certain time. This is why you gain a tolerance faster to certain strains and others seem to medicate the same way for longer. By choosing to use different strains, and different methods of ingestions, such as using edibles or vaporizing, it is easier to keep your cannabiniod receptors fresh and ready to be activated by the next type of medicine you are using. This will help you conserve your medicine and get the maximum effect from it, and it can also help to reach the desired cannabiniod balance you are looking for. Each patient has an individual reaction to each type of medicine tried, and experimentation with different types of strains and methods of use is essential for the new patient. In very little time, you’ll be able to determine what works best for you. We are here to help you find what will work best for your needs. Please feel free to come to us with any questions or concerns. We believe in the “Heart of Humboldt” and professional and compassionate care is what you will always receive here.

Topical Use of Cannabis

annabis has been used for its medical and non medical applications for thousands of years. The knowledge of medical uses of the plant is believed to have arisen first in Central Asia. One of the oldest applications of the cannabis plant is the topical application of the cannabis salves. Topical application, or applying medicine directly to a part of the body like the skin, has been used as an analgesic for general pain. In addition to its pain relieving properties, topically applied cannabis has been used for anti-bacterial, anti-inflammation, and anti-oxidant properties throughout human history. Humans have over 20 square feet Humboldt Patient Resource Center Mission Statement: “Providing the highest quality medicine possible, safe access, and empowering patients with information.”

of skin. This protective organ is comprised of numerous layers and receptors, including cannabinoid receptors. These receptors interact with chemical compounds that are present in the cannabis plant that offer a potential therapeutic effect. The cannabis plant produces these chemicals to act as a protectant from environmental damages including UV Rays. When patients harness these chemical compounds into topical products, human skin can benefit from the same protective properties. Some ailments that H.P.R.C. patients have reported benefitted from topical application of cannabis products include general pain, inflammation, arthritis, cramping, psoriasis, acne, bug bites, UV-B induced skin tumors, itch relief, and cosmetic application. Another great facet of topically applied cannabis is patients can avoid the psychoactive high associated with smoked or ingested cannabis. Topically applied cannabis interacts with the receptor sites found in the skin and effects are experienced locally and not throughout the body. If patients are seeking a topical application that does interact with their CB1 receptors and potentially is psychoactive, patients can investigate transdermal cannabis products. These unique products are patches applied to the skin, that are infused

EPD Chief Holsters Gun Law

ureka Police Chief Andy Mills has pulled his proposed gun control ordinance, saying his department is going to focus on an education campaign urging people not to leave weapons unattended in their homes and businesses. Mills, with guidance from the city attorney, had developed a proposed ordinance requiring gun owners to lock up their firearms when they were away from home or work. It was a response, he told the city council on Nov. 3, to gun thefts and gun violence. “When we have a city of 30,000 people and we have eight homicides since I’ve been here, that’s unacceptable,” Mills said. Mills said 50 guns were stolen from one business and police interrupted the burglaries of 80 more weapons. One Eureka homeowner interrupted a gun burglary. “Fortunately he’d been duck hunting, so he chased [the burglar] down the street and fired a round at him,” Mills said. “And bully for him.” Mills said 122 guns have been taken from criminals in the last year, 16 of them at the PalCo Marsh. He said he wants to get guns out of the hands of criminals, but he’s not interested in impinging on 2nd Amendment rights. “People have the right to bear arms but that’s just the point — to bear arms. Not to leave them lying around unprotected,” Mills said. “[The ordinance was] written specifically so if someone is home or at

their business, they can have all the guns they want lying about, because they’re in control of their firearms. It has nothing to do with, ‘When somebody goes to bed at night, can they have a gun on their nightstand?’ Of course they can. This is America.” Mills said he pulled the ordinance based on feedback from the city council and the public. Commenters on his blog post (and the Journal website) announcing the ordinance were uniformly against the restriction, though they also uniformly seemed to misunderstand that Mills’ ordinance would only have required guns to be locked up when the owner wasn’t present. On a poll on Mills’ blog, 33 percent of respondents voted to “Lock up the guns” and 25 percent said to “Leave them unattended.” Forty-two percent of respondents chose the third option — “Other solution(s).” Mills seemed to respond to that in his address to the council. “I welcome anybody from our community — anybody or any organization who is interested in finding better solutions than what we’ve suggested. I’m wide open.” Mills said he’ll reintroduce the ordinance if it appears EPD’s education efforts aren’t effective. “We are markedly less safe when criminals find it easy to steal guns,” he said. — Grant Scott-Goforth POSTED 11.04.15.

the damage the elements were doing to finished pieces in the muddy yard or the toll his mission took on his relationships. But as he said in a 1996 artist’s statement, “When you’re compelled to paint, everything else becomes subordinate.” The same single-mindedness that made him so admired and so prolific might also be the reason he’s never achieved much recognition outside the borders of his two homes, Humboldt County and Grants Pass, Oregon. His legacy, like the whereabouts of so many of his paintings — sold, traded, lost and scattered — is hard to lay hands on, but it is real and it is the accumulated work of a lifetime.

LARGE 5-Meat Stuﬀed

Otto was born in Eureka

in 1923, the son of a pharmacist. It was during his college years at the University of New Mexico, when he was studying to follow in his father’s footsteps that he took elective art classes and caught the bug. He practiced as a pharmacist on and off for a couple of decades, but left to paint full time in the 1970s. In that time, he’d married and divorced Roberta Schisley, with whom he had two children. He studied at the Arts Student League in New York for a few months in the 1960s, but beyond that he’s remained a fixture in two small worlds. “You walk into his studio in Grants Pass and it was like, where does he paint?” recalled Chris Pondelick, former executive director of the Grants Pass Museum of Art. Over the phone from Oregon, she said the workspace was stacked with so many paintings that Otto sometimes had Continued on next page »

nly a handful of painted scrap panels leaned against the steps and shrubs outside Curtis Otto’s orange stucco house on Eureka’s E Street. The crowd of oil paintings that cluttered the artist’s front yard was gone, but stepping through the unlocked front door you had to work your way around and over the canvases stacked three-deep in the entry and dark hallway. In the back of the house, more paintings packed the walls and ledges in a chaotic salon style that verged on hoarding. But weeks before his Nov. 7 death, lying in the purple sheets of a hospital bed, the 92-year-old Otto’s bright blue eyes darted across a bare ceiling. Following a couple of falls in September, his health had declined. His precise illness was undetermined and he wasn’t interested in undergoing tests or leaving his house. Home care workers tended to him in shifts, and hospice staff made regular house calls, as there was no phone. And a steady stream of visitors, mostly artists, came by daily, some bringing food or buying paintings, to visit with the iconic local painter. Asked how he felt about influencing so many artists, he barked out, “Yeah, why is that?” His talent and his dogged pursuit of ways to push the medium of painting are part of it. Nearly everyone you talk to says the same thing — his example of discipline and his unwavering attention to painting inspired artists to work harder, to go further. He might train his laser focus on a problem in your painting and talk with you in earnest. He might paint over it himself to “fix” it. His attention was on painting, on the canvas before him, not the money it might bring him, not

to throw down a canvas and work on the floor. The studio, like his home in Eureka, was often unlocked, with artists coming and going, and paintings left unattended out on the street to dry. Pondelick met Otto in 1979, when he was helping get the newly formed museum on its feet, putting in sheetrock, hanging art and serving on the exhibition committee. He and his cohort, “the passionate seven,” would pool their money for live models and paint in houses, in fields, anywhere. “You’d always see him painting or you’d see him hauling his stuff down the street.” He might be dragging art supplies or a painting he wanted to talk about with someone. “He painted every day,” marveled Pondelick. “He would concentrate on a series and really work that every day until he was happy with it and then move onto another series.” Otto’s series are legion — ships, money, bridges, industrial landscapes, marijuana, nudes, women’s nude posteriors, to name a few. That work ethic, as much as his skill as a painter and strong aesthetic style, were magnetic. When painter Jim McVicker moved to Humboldt County in 1978, he met Otto in a life drawing group. McVicker casually invited him to visit his studio sometime.

20 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Nov. 12, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

“The next day, early in the morning,” he said, “there was a bang, bang, bang! And it was Otto.” McVicker lived with Otto for about a year in 1984, acting as caretaker when Otto was away. “I loved living with Otto,” he said, “because he was 120 percent art. He was always painting.” Their styles were different, but Otto’s intensity inspired. It wasn’t just that Otto was working every day, but that he was constantly thinking about the work. Otto appreciated that same intensity in others. Tommy Drake, who teaches studio art at Rogue Community College, said engagement was always paramount for Otto. “What was his phrase?” she said over the phone. “‘That person’s really involved.’ … If he thought they were really involved, then they were OK no matter what the work looked like.” Otto’s criteria kept him open to relative outsiders, like his friend Peace, a Grants Pass street painter. A slender man dressed in black with a trim, white beard and a black head scarf like a pirate’s, Peace speaks in soft tones and is given to reciting poems. He stayed in the Eureka house at times and would drive Otto between Eureka and Grants Pass. “He was one of those really involved people,” Drake said.

She remembers the two men painting on the sidewalks of Grants Pass. Otto’s son, Jason, recalled going to a show in Eureka with his father, who began talking in earnest with a “transient type reciting poetry.” Jason said Curtis didn’t care about outward appearances or whether someone was homeless. “He just kind of met them on the artistic level.” Curtis Otto was just as ready to grapple with the “problem” in someone else’s piece as his own. “He was an incredible supporter of your art,” said Pondelick. “He was so encouraging. And if he didn’t think you were doing your art enough because you were off on some other thing, he’d say, ‘Why aren’t you doing your art?’” She sighed, remembering how effective the guilt could be in getting her back in the studio. McVicker posited it’s that kind of attention that made Otto such a “positive force” in the local art community. “He has a genuine love for looking at what other people are doing and making,” he said, adding that, even ill, Otto offered a sharp critical eye. “He still has it. … He’s lying there in bed and talking about art.”

Otto had always been wiry,

small of build with hooded blue eyes under wild brows like snatches of straw. But he’d lost weight since spring, rendering his silhouette a spare line drawing, the sharp peaks of his knees and the suggestion of a form beneath the sheet tucked up to his chin. He said he was still trying to figure out what gives a painting “juice,” what would “turn you on” or make it “talk.” He said,

“It’s always a surprise to me.” He didn’t know how he’d accumulated his admirers, either. “Why do they think my painting turns ‘em on?” Otto’s recent work features stenciled text, sometimes single words in block letters. “It’s a different visual experience,” he said. Instead of leaving it to the viewer to contemplate, “you’re completing the statement with the word.” Taped to a wall in Otto’s home is a Jim McVicker landscape from an old, flyspotted calendar — a sweep of pasture, scattered cows and pines — over which Otto had stenciled “LOLETA” in red. He said the image didn’t work until he added it. McVicker has seen the Loleta stencil and likes it. He understands Otto’s project of juxtaposing real images and abstract ideas, of keeping a painting from being “just another landscape.” In fact, he said with a laugh, Otto also did some after-market work on a street scene McVicker traded him, attaching another piece and crossing the painting with a big stripe. Otto added to one of Jack Sewell’s sculptures, too. Sewell was surprised to stop by the house and see his piece with a stenciled 3 on it. “I couldn’t begin to tell you why the number 3,” he says. “It’s his now!” When Otto’s throat got dry, Marcee Siemens stepped over her white Staffordshire terrier Spanky, picked up a cup of water and held the straw to Otto’s lips. Siemens is in her early 60s with large hazel eyes and a spray of ash blonde dreads held back in a fabric band. A textile artist, she met Otto in 1988 when she had a show at the Grants Pass Art Museum and

he was on the exhibition committee. They had quietly been together on and off since the late 1990s. “Back then I didn’t care for his work. It was too stiff,” she said, folding her arms over her padded vest. As far apart as their aesthetics were, she found his dedication inspiring and it pushed her. They shared a studio and became involved in 1996, after her divorce, when Otto was living with his longtime companion Loretta Roberts in Grants Pass. The relationship wasn’t public. “I had respect for the companion,” Siemens said. “I knew Loretta.” Otto nodded lightly from his bed as she spoke. Siemens was staying in the Eureka house to help with Otto’s care. It wasn’t unusual for her to come down and stay with him there in the old days, but it wasn’t always a honeymoon. “We were so volatile, sometimes I’d leave after a day,” she said. Sometimes they fought about art. She claims he stole her ideas, whipping up basketball player paintings after seeing similar images in the woven pieces that took her far longer to produce. At one point she banned him from her studio. Later, she simply covered her work before his visits. Asked if he had anything to say in his defense, Curtis looked back to the ceiling and shook his head. “No.” Siemens laughed. “We’ve never broken up. We’ve broken up at least a thousand times, right Curtis?” “Yeah,” he replied.

over the phone. “He’s kind of like Einstein or somebody who’s 100 percent devoted to something — even when they have downtime they’re still thinking about it.” He’s not surprised there are few wild tales circulating about his father. “Things like drugs or craziness would get in the way.” As a child, Jason remembers watching his father paint and even taking a painting to school once after a principal had asked to see one. The principal told Jason to ask his father why he’d painted the sky orange. Curtis’ reply: “Because it looked good.” Jason agreed. “I’ve always gotten feedback from him,” said Jason. “It’s not the kind of thing that’s you should do this.” Often he talked about how to make pieces interesting and creative, something more. “Once, he said I was ‘a damn good artist’ and that was a great compliment.”

Curtis Otto was a Painter Continued from previous page

Jack Sewell’s business card

is taped to Otto’s front door. He showed Otto’s paintings at the former Sewell Gallery in Old Town and started handling some sales to help out. “He’s one of the most devoted painters I’ve ever met in my life, if not the most,” Sewell said. In their conversations, there was no gallery small talk, no politics, no family. “It took a long time to just learn he had a family.” Sewell once ran into Curtis with his daughter Adrienne Otto, a veterinarian who lives in Humboldt County. “Otherwise,” Sewell said, “I wouldn’t have even known he had a daughter.” Likewise, Sewell only learned Otto had a son when Jason showed up at

a show. It’s a comment echoed by a number of other artists, friends and gallery owners in Humboldt and Grants Pass. Jason Otto lives in Seattle where he works for Boeing as a software designer and paints, among other things, intensely colored acrylics of airplanes being assembled. They don’t resemble Curtis Otto paintings, though they are expressionistic. Still, there is something of a shared aesthetic, an interest in architecture and the raw edges of things. He doesn’t paint nearly as much as his father and shies away from any comparison. But, he said, “I kind of like to think that I picked up design from him.” “Art defines his life,” Jason explained

At a gallery reception last

spring, Curtis Otto scoffed at worry over the paintings out on his lawn for anyone to steal. He waved a knotted hand. “I can’t sell anything.” Otto insisted he never painted with selling in mind. “I’ve never been turned on to paint to sell,” he said. And while he railed against the “safety-first academia” that he claimed never recognized his work, and the prudish galleries he says shunned his nudes, he maintained that he didn’t get wrapped up in money or fame. Maybe not, but McVicker thinks recognition did matter. He pointed out that Otto’s extremely modest lifestyle allowed him to underprice his paintings,

do without an agent and get by on small sales. He said Otto once told him that he wasn’t going to Los Angeles or San Francisco; those galleries were going to have to come to him. “But he’s always wanted to show his work.” Pondelick remembers Otto telling her a story about visiting an out-of-town gallery showing his work. He told her that he found it shuttered, his paintings gone. She thinks the experience turned him off to marketing beyond his usual borders. An artist himself, Sewell said he wouldn’t put Otto “up in the ranks of genius with Renoir and Pissaro, but he’s almost in the van Gogh region with his passion and his fire. Sewell said he’s grown to understand what Otto was up to, how he absorbed what impressionistic and representational artists did and “just push[ed] it further” with geometric elements, odd framing and even crudely fastened composites. Despite that talent and the strength of his work, Sewell thinks Otto didn’t break out of Grants Pass and Eureka because “he’s never had the wherewithal to advertise himself. … He’s a successful painter, that’s for sure, but as for a career, … somehow he never got picked up on.” Sewell said Otto seemed to be waiting for some agent to come out of nowhere and discover him. In his final weeks, Otto was talking to visitors about the “Viennese collection,” a handful of his paintings in Austria. Painter Linda Mitchell, a neighbor and longtime friend of Otto’s, said he was excited to have “gone international” and the possibilContinued on next page »

ities it could open up. It’s unclear, however, how much Otto understood about the details. In 1997, a woman (who declined to have her name included here) bought five Otto paintings from the now defunct Hobart art gallery in Ferndale as a wedding gift for her daughter, an art historian. Her daughter moved with them to and from South Africa and to Vienna, where she now enjoys them in her home. When she recently bought three more paintings, the woman told Otto where her daughter’s pieces had ended up. “They bought them outright,” Otto said, remarking that galleries usually take work on consignment. He spoke about those paintings and the three other pieces as though they were going to show in a gallery. The Grants Pass Museum of Art will exhibit a small retrospective of some 20 paintings from Curtis Otto’s Grants Pass studio, chosen by his son Jason, from Feb. 17 to March 25. It’s dizzying to think of choosing 20 from a 60-year span, most of which saw Curtis Otto paint daily. The prospect of sorting the haphazard mountain of paintings in his Eureka home is similarly daunting. Jack Sewell chuckled recalling what a pain in the ass it was cleaning Otto’s paintings for a show. He said they had to drag them out of piles in the house, soap and hose them down to remove the dust, soil, earwigs and spider webs, and dry them before they could hang in the gallery. “They’re not precious to him … He’d take paintings and just throw ‘em in the back of a truck and not care whether they were sticking together or wet or — ugh.” And why would they be precious? Otto was a painter, after all, not an archivist or a promoter or a curator. A painter paints. ●

Inner Circle

Dugan Aguilar at the Goudi’ni Native American Arts Gallery By Gabrielle Gopinath

Aguilar’s “Cousin Fred, Truckee, 1982” captures the pleasure of the open road.

artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

n the book She Sang Me a Good Luck Song: the California Indian Photographs of Dugan Aguilar, the photographer documents people, places and rituals of the California Indian community. His photographs are featured in an exhibition of the same name at Humboldt State University’s Goudi’ni Native American Arts Gallery in Arcata this month. Aguilar was born in 1947 to parents who trace their ancestry to Mountain Maidu, Washoe, Pit River and Walker River Paiute, and was raised within what he has described as “a loving family and small Indian community” in the Susanville Indian Rancheria, not far from Mount Lassen. He came to photography via an unconventional route, after serving in the Marines in the Vietnam War and earning his degree in industrial technology and design from Cal State Fresno. Beginning by taking photographs of his immediate family, Aguilar gradually expanded his practice to include extended family, friends and acquaintances in the larger Indian community. He has been documenting the lives of native people in California now for almost 40 years, emerging as one of the premier documentarians of California Indian cultures. This show provides an essential overview of his career, which includes

long-term positions as staff photographer for native groups including the California Indian Basketweavers Association, the California Indian Storytelling Association, the National Indian Justice Association and the journal News from Native California. Aguilar brings an insider’s perspective to all aspects of his long-running documentary project. His images exude a sense of intimacy that reflects the social, familial and geographic ties that connect him to his subjects. In the informative exhibition catalog, curator and Kew Pueblo and Jemez Pueblo tribal member Theresa Harlan notes that the people in these photographs appear fully at ease in the photographer’s presence, regardless of whether the images are posed. In many cases the person behind the camera and the person who appears before it seem to inhabit the same warm circle — sometimes literally, as in Aguilar’s photographs of the annual Bear Dance. It seems relevant here to note that the sense of rapport that characterizes Aguilar’s images pervades the gallery space as well. When I visited the exhibition, it felt like a family affair: Many had come to see their friends and relatives in Aguilar’s pictures. Aguilar’s approach exists in opposition to the “street photography” practiced by

postwar American photographers who took pictures of anonymous urban subjects (including major luminaries like Lee Friedlander and Gary Winogrand, as well as more recently ‘discovered’ figures like Vivian Maier). This approach relied on the preservation of a certain distance between photographer and subject. That distance was in turn made possible because of the anonymous social spaces in modern cities, like streets, bars and parks. Aguilar’s rejection of such tactics resonates culturally and historically. For the past 150 years, native people in Northern California, like other colonized peoples, have been photographed by European-Americans. Native peoples’ pictures have often been taken without their consent for exploitative sale or study by those with disproportionate power. Photography became a tool of colonization. Aguilar and other Native American photographers of his generation such as Zig Jackson, Shelley Niro, Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie, Jesse Cooday, and Richard Ray Whitman are committed to using the camera in the service of self-representation, making pictures that are first and foremost by, of, and for the native community. Some of Aguilar’s themes are immediately relatable. The uniquely American

pleasures of the road trip find memorable expression in “Cousin Fred, Truckee, 1982,” a full-body profile study of Aguilar’s badass kinsman astride his chopper at freeway speed. Other images will be less familiar, at least for the non-native contingent of Aguilar’s viewers. Take for example “Pomo Boy, Elders Day, Lake Mendocino, 1998,” a limpid portrait of a young boy wearing a visor-like element of regalia that shades his eyes from view. The visor complicates our relationship with the boy’s image; looking at the photograph, we can’t tell if he chooses to meet our gaze. The regal eyeshade is both a barrier and an element of display. Aguilar shoots black-and-white as well as color film in a variety of styles. Most of the images here are portraits, ranging from formal groupings of California Native American veterans to a beautifully lit study of an elderly woman, “Lucy Lowry, 2000.” However, Aguilar also uses color film to capture dancers whirling in regalia, and he makes studies that document dramatic effects of light and shade inside indigenous buildings, like “Corner Post, Rebuilding of Chaw’se Roundhouse, 2012.” The exhibition also boasts a comprehensive selection of some of the many cover images Aguilar shot for News From Native California and other publications in the 1980s and 1990s. Aguilar’s deep appreciation for the beauty of the individual members of the California Indian community comes across clearly in all these images. The oldest and youngest community members seem to be documented with especially loving care; see the reverential 2003 portrait of “Ollie Foseide’s Hands,” and the delightfully vibrant color portrait of a very young dancer titled “Koa, Day Under the Oaks, Santa Rosa, 2004.” Being invited to share Aguilar’s world and his experiences in this way feels like a gift. ● She Sang Me a Good Luck Song: the California Indian Photographs of Dugan Aguilar shows at HSU’s Goudi’ni Native American Arts Gallery from Oct. 22 to Dec. 12.

t happens every year. Summer is over and I am despondent. It’s not that I don’t like fall. Our fall season is glorious: from golden light to fogfree days to abundant produce, fall has a lot to say for itself. The problem is days are getting shorter and shorter — though, as my husband keeps saying to hearten me, they are doing so at a slowing rate. Something clicks inside me at the prospect of plunging into darkness by 5 p.m. and I start hoarding winter squashes. Seeing their substantial shapes lined up in my storage room is a comfort. Later, on a gray winter day, I can reach for a glowing red kuri or a radiant delicata and brighten the kitchen. When I long for sun-sweetened fruit, I can satisfy my craving with a black futsu, and when I dream of gliding gently on the Venetian Lagoon aboard a vaporetto, a marina di Chioggia will wink at me sympathetically. Winter squashes are like friends: They are at your side when you need them. I can count on winter squashes to be there for me throughout fall and winter into spring. Acorn squash has pride of place among them as a reliable performer, transforming into a delicious dinner without complicated arrangements, since you can stuff it with pretty much anything, like grains, nutritious greens, nuts or dried fruit. The green acorn is the most widely available variety, but there is also the white acorn (to which I was introduced some years ago by Paul Giuntoli of Warren Creek Farms) and the golden acorn squash. All varieties will work in this recipe (you might also try jester squash), which includes one of my favorite vegetables: the leek. Have you ever harvested a leek? The

first time you reach under the roots with a tool, lift a leek from the ground and see how much dirt clings to it, your gratitude to farmers increases by at least two notches for the cleaning they do before delivering leeks to the market. It will also make you more patient while rinsing leeks in your sink. The leek’s distinctive, refined personality shines in solo performances and supporting roles in many dishes, particularly soups. In this recipe, it plays the protagonist of the stuffing. Fresh thyme from the garden, toasted pecans and cheese contribute to make a lovely dinner. The dish is quite simple and is in line with my minimalist approach to everyday cooking. You can start with my proposed list of ingredients, add your own variations, and turn it into a personalized version. And you can easily multiply the given quantities depending on how many people you need to accommodate. So these days I am out getting my therapeutic dose of winter squashes. And most local farmers and grocery stores carry a wide variety sure to satisfy everybody’s preferences.

Leek-stuffed Acorn Squash

Serves 2 (can easily be multiplied to serve more) Ingredients and method: 1 acorn squash, about 1 ½ pounds 8 ounces leek, clean weight (i.e., weighed after the dark green leaves have been cut away; save the latter to use in making stock or broth) 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil ½ tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

Something sunny for the early dark. Photo by Simona Carini

Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons finely chopped, lightly toasted pecans 1 ounce freshly grated cheese of choice (for example, Manchego or Gruyère) Heat the oven to 375 F. Cut the acorn squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds (a grapefruit spoon is a handy tool for this task). Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until tender and easily pierced with a blade. Remove them from the oven. While the squash is baking, prepare the stuffing. After trimming the roots, cut the leek(s) in half lengthwise and slice it into -inch-thick half moons. Rinse them in a colander, then place them in a bowl and fill it with cold water. With your hands, swirl the leeks to clean them well, then scoop them out of the water with a sieve or slotted spoon and

drain them in a colander. Warm the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the leek pieces and stir to coat, then add the thyme and stir again. Cover them and cook until the leeks are soft, making sure they do not dry out (in which case you can add a splash of water or broth to the pan). Remove the pan from the heat, sprinkle in salt and pepper, and stir. Keep the leeks warm until needed. Turn the squash halves cut side up. Distribute the cheese to line the cavities of the two halves of the squash. Pile the cooked leeks onto the cheese to fill the squash cavities and make a small mound. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the leeks. Return the squash to the oven for 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately. l Simona Carini also writes about her adventures in the kitchen on her blog www.pulcetta.com northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Nov. 12, 2015

Setlist

On the Road Again All across this land By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

e’re lucky here in Humboldt. Not only do we have a wealth of talented local musicians, but we also find ourselves roughly smack dab between San Francisco and Portland. We’ve got much more going for ourselves than some podunk town outside of Los Banos on the I-5, so we can forgive touring bands for seeing Humboldt as a convenient stop-off between larger shows. Making the 12-hour drive to S.F. from PDX? Might as well pull over and earn some change here in Humboldt. Fortunately for us, during their trek up to Seattle from the Bay Area, Portlandinistas Blitzen Trapper will be stopping off for the night in Arcata on Tuesday (more below) in support of their new album All Across This Land. With insightful touches of Americana and ’70s rock mixed in, the album sounds a bit like local band the Trouble backing up Neil Young in some dive bar along the I-10. When I asked BT songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Eric Earley if he could recall how often the band plays Humboldt, he could only guess “quite a few times as it’s not too far from where we live and whenever we do the West Coast we generally hit Northern CA.” He goes on to mention that it’s “always a very good time!” Although many of the songs from All Across This Land sounds as if they could have been written while meandering through the U.S. on a tour bus, Eric mentions that he doesn’t “write on the road at all, really, there’s just no time and I’m usually too tired. All of these songs were written at home during some downtime here in Portland.” The band will have one day of downtime after playing Arcata, so feel free to shower them with some small town love.

Thursday

Tonight finds the return of one of Humboldt’s success stories: The Scott Amendola Band will be at the Arcata Playhouse at 8 p.m. You’ve got the very talented (and above-mentioned) percussionist Scott, who has wowed crowds. Along for the jam is avant-vibrationist Nels Cline, who has similarly impressed locals. But perhaps

the star of the show will be Petrolia-bred violinist par excellence Jenny Scheinman. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve heard her name many times but never known too much about her. If you are like me, here are the takeaways: She is from Petrolia (+), she is an amazing violinist (+), she has played with Lou Reed and Aretha Franklin (++), and her music is quite often used by NPR (-). Bring $20 to see her and the band. Speaking of getting to play with amazing talents, did you know that The Young Dubliners once opened for Jethro Tull? Did you also know that they’ll be at Humboldt Brews at 9:30 p.m.? Only one of those facts needs remembering. Playing Celtic-rock of sorts with some deviance thrown in there, singer Keith Roberts mentions that the band members “all come from different backgrounds. Even though two of us are from Ireland, a lot of the music we listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all.” $20 for this show.

Friday

It’s Friday the 13th, but someone recently told me it’s bad luck to be superstitious. While I wrap my head around that, you can check out the HSU Guitar Ensemble focus on 20th Century French Composers, such as Debussy and Ravel, along with an original composition by student Kenneth Bozanich. 8 p.m. at Fulkerson Recital Hall and $8 (free for HSU students). The Arcata Theatre Lounge knows that joy is no crime, and thereby welcomes The Pimps of Joytime. You’ll dance, smile and groove to some ’70s-influenced funk at 8:30 p.m., and if you pick up your ticket in advance, you’ll only pay $17. Kingfoot returns to please your ears at the Logger Bar at 9 p.m. for a free show. You may be familiar with Poor Man’s Whiskey’s Dark Side of the Moonshine, a 2009 bluegrass interpretation of Floyd’s DSOTM. I don’t even like bluegrass but it’s good. Now the band is performing all of Paul Simon’s album Graceland at Humboldt Brews, which is impressive. I wonder how they’ll pull off “Homeless.” $15 for this 9:30 p.m. show and let’s hope they don’t ever try and cover one of Art Garfunkel’s albums.

Saturday

Burnt Ranch sibling violin virtuosos Tristan and Tashina return to Humboldt with The Bee Eaters at the Arcata Playhouse at 7:30 p.m. You can also hear them Sunday night (same time and place) for $23. There’s a free show at Redwood Curtain Brewery in Arcata. The multi-monikered Blase with The 215s will start at 8 p.m., feel free to tip ‘em or buy them a beer. Don’t ever let anyone tell you there isn’t an “authentic British-style brass band in Northern California, featuring 25 brass instruments plus percussion.” There is! They are called the Humboldt Bay Brass Band and they’ll be at Fulkerson Recital Hall at HSU at 8 p.m. for only $8. Haven’t seen the No Good Redwood Ramblers since their album release? Catch ’em tonight at the Logger Bar in Blue Lake at 10 p.m. for a rare free show. Headlining the Hemp Fest at the Mateel is Angelo Moore & the Brand New Step. Angelo’s well known as the lead singer and sax man for Fishbone, so get funky and get down tonight. $20 for entrance to Hemp Fest and all of the music it provides.

Sunday

The weekend’s not done. If you missed The Bee Eaters Saturday, see above for details about tonight’s show. For those in the Dead community, head over to the Arcata Theatre Lounge tonight for Terrapin Flyer. Humboldt favorite Melvin Seals will be behind the B-3 and “Other One” Mark Karan will be on the six-string. Joining them will be Alice

Drinks the Kool-Aid. While there, drink Lagunitas beer to please guitar player (and founder of Lagunitas Brewing Co.) Tony Magee. Door’s at 9 p.m., $25.

Tuesday

As mentioned above, Portland rockers Blitzen Trapper will be at Humboldt Brews tonight supporting their new album All Across This Land. Welcome them back to Humboldt at 9 p.m. $15 cover charge for their blend of Americana and ’70s riffrock. Phoebe Bridgers open the show.

Wednesday

It’s not too often that we get a member of the Rolling Stones’ Touring Band in Humboldt County (did Bobby Keys ever make it through town?). Tonight catch rolling stone Karl Denson and his Tiny Universe at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. It’ll be a good time indeed, with some soul, R&B and funk. A little less funky, but good nonetheless, Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers will start the show off around 8 p.m. $20 advance tickets. Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online. Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com. Andy Powell is a congenital music lover and hosts The Night Show on KWPT 100.3 FM weeknights at 6 p.m. He doesn’t feel bad for not mentioning your show that you never told him about. ●

Mermaids, sharks and pirates, oh my! Join Shoshanna and other hip shakers for Amwaaj - Under the Sea Belly Dance at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts on Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. ($12, $10, $7 children and Ink People members). This one-night-only evening of dance features pieces inspired by creatures, characters and myths of the ocean. A saltwater treat for the whole family.

More dance delights with Akram Khan at the Van Duzer Theatre, Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. ($46, $36, $10 HSU students). The award-winning choreographer and his troupe perform KAASH, a revival of the company’s first full-length work. The piece, first performed in 2002, explores aspects of the Hindu god Shiva and his cycles of creation and destruction.

Hemp Fest 2015 gets rolling this weekend at the Mateel Community Center starting Nov. 13 with the Hemp Fest Comedy Kickoff at 8:30 p.m. with headliner Ngaio Bealum ($15). It burns all day Nov. 14 from noon-midnight with cannabis and hemp-themed artists, vendors, speakers and performers ($20), ending with industry experts talking about the recent state legislation at the Hemp Fest Forum on Nov. 15 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. (free).

Top o’ the Hops

Gather, Honor, Thank

We’re a hearty folk here in Humboldt and we like to get our beer on. And with good reason: We’ve got some of the best breweries/brew masters in the state, and our Lumbersexuals — er, regular Joes — look good with suds in their ‘staches. We also love pitching in as a community to help out a good cause, like the restoration and upkeep of one of the area’s most beloved landmarks. The Eureka Theater’s most anticipated fundraiser is back. … Tip your hats and your commemorative glasses to Strange Brew, Nov. 14 from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Eureka Theater when the theater challenges brewers to bring it on by creating their strangest and most delicious concoctions ($35). All the area’s breweries are participating this year, as well as some out-of-towners, home brewers, and the fermented businesses’ sweeter cousins, the cider makers. Past pioneering entries have included garlic beer, beer slushies, an IPA Photo by Heidi Walters dry hopped with spicy grasshoppers (as in the actual little buggers), fruit and herb ales, and Pig Newton, a bacon and fig sour brown. In addition to innovative suds, you can enjoy live tunes from The Uptown Kings and pair that porter with barbecued chicken, pork and sides for a reasonable price. Bring your ID and your sense of adventure, as this event is 21-and-up only. And if you’ve had so much that pourers ask you to hop along, Cassidy, Humboldt Bay Inn is offering discounted rooms and a free limousine ride between 5:30 and 10 p.m. for Strange Brew guests. Call 443-2234 and ask for the “Strange Brew room rate.” — Kali Cozyris

November is a month for community and family gatherings, honoring ancestors and giving thanks for the bounty of life. It is also American Indian Heritage month, so it’s a perfect time to come together and break fry bread with your neighbor at the Northwest Intertribal Gathering and Elders Dinner at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds on Saturday, Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (free admission). The annual event, which sees thousands of visitors, is an opportunity for the community to celebrate its elders, veterans and the cultures and traditions of the indigenous people of this area. “Celebrating Elders is a core value of American Indian people,” says Northern California Indian Development Council’s André Cramblit. And one way to do that is feed them well! A traditionally cooked salmon and turkey dinner will be served from noon to 3 p.m. (or until the food is gone) and is free to all those 55 and over, Photo by Manuel Orbegozo regardless of ethnicity. Younger folks are asked to make a donation of $8 or $4 for kids 10 and under. If you miss the meal, fear not, there will be food booths serving up fry bread, buffalo burgers, Indian tacos and more. The event also features a veterans’ honoring ceremony and an elders’ gifting ceremony. There’s also the impressive tribal dance demonstrations with Pow Wow and Hoop dancers, a drum group and native singers. Enjoy performances from the Tolowa, Miwok and Aztec dancers, and be sure to check out the vendor booths offering beautiful Native American arts and crafts. — Kali Cozyris

Emotional Bonding

Spectre goes deep By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

SPECTRE. The things I like about these late-era Bond movies, I will continue to like: Daniel Craig’s physically dominant, slightly sadistic take on the character — like a revolver in a Tom Ford suit; the emphasis on visual style and cinematic technique, here highlighted by returning director Sam Mendes (Skyfall) and director of photography Hoyte Van Hoytema; the constant search for bigger, grander canvases on which to paint action sequences; and finally, an obvious reverence for the origins both of the Bond character and his cinematic history. Spectre mostly gets it right but falters in its insistence on continuing down Skyfall’s route to the true inner Bond. In that previous installment, Mendes took great pains with pacing, using conflict to strategically reveal critical elements of Bond’s psychology. The process was so gradual, so steeped in gorgeous atmosphere (thanks to venerable director of photography Roger Deakins), that one almost didn’t realize that the impossible was happening: James Bond was becoming vulnerable, dissected and almost psychoanalyzed on screen. It was a neat trick, or tricks, relying as much on a fresh perspective on the character as it did on fond reflections on the past. Spectre finds Bond continuing with

Bond with a woman his age. Let that sink in like high-end skin cream. some of the work left him in the wake of Skyfall. The movie opens abruptly in Mexico City, during Day of the Dead festivities. An impressive tracking shot follows Bond, decked out in skeleton tuxedo, top hat and skull mask, as he and a beautiful woman make their way through the teeming streets to a hotel. In a somewhat uncharacteristic move, 007 is out the window before anything happens between them, obviously preoccupied. He’s off to foil a bombing and chase his quarry through the reveler-choked streets and onto a waiting helicopter, which becomes the stage for an impressive mid-air fight sequence. To this point, Spectre has delivered everything one would hope for in a Bond opening: original action, inventively photographed in an exotic locale. All boxes checked. With that done, though, things start to slip. Back in London, we learn that the Mexico City mission came as a posthumous personal message from the late M (Judi Dench), and that it begins a long and dangerous path. Of course Bond will follow, regardless of orders from above, and that’s where the first set of conflicts arises. Current M (Ralph Fiennes), invested though he may be in the 00 program, is also a man of office, answerable to the hierarchy. And that hierarchy is rapidly changing, with an officious little prat named Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott) — or C —, new head of the Centre for National Security, striving to consolidate the world’s surveillance apparatus and dismantle M’s department. Bond’s freelance globe-trotting could hardly come at a worse time, but work is work, and globe-trotting he must go. The wreckage from the Mexico City incident leads 007 to Rome, where he discovers a heretofore unknown global criminal conspiracy poised to take over the world. It’s Spectre, of course, and a shadowy figure eventually known to us as Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) sits at the head of the table. Bond must then make his way through his past to determine his

Arts & Crafts course of action. He falls in with Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux), daughter of one his old nemeses, and somewhat inexplicably falls in love with her. At this point in the movie, after a compelling, rather intentional first act, things start to move awfully precipitously as he and Madeleine learn more about Spectre and open some of Bond’s old wounds. As much as I like the fact that this story arc, and many of its component parts, calls back to the Bond movies of days gone by, I can’t help but feel that the story and its telling don’t quite come together. The style of Spectre is decidedly of its time, as is its excessive two-and-ahalf-hour running time. But the third act is packed with abrupt revelations, popping up one after another like firecrackers. This works against the accumulated tension and goodwill of the movie’s first half, and by the end it doesn’t really feel like a Bond movie anymore, rather some British intelligence potboiler with more style and a better cast than it deserves. Where Skyfall gradually spooled out elements of Bond’s interior life, suggesting rather than telling, Spectre hits us over the head with it. That blunt force effect is the movie’s undoing. I understand the impulse to humanize the character, but this approach is decidedly un-Bond. PG13. 148m. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK, FORTUNA, MINOR. — John J.
